SOAP header and patching problem

[Julia Tertyshnaya]

Hello all,   Sorry I sent the message in HTML format by mistake at first, this is the text only.   I have problems with SOAP headers: I can create a SOAP header on the client side and pack it into the SOAP envelope (using SOAPHeaderElement and call.addHeader()), but my web service doesn't see the header. I use Axis 1.0, Java 1.4 Tomcat 4.0.4. I provide relevant fragments of client and service code below. I've read everything I could find on this topic in this mailing list, tried many things, but nothing helped until now. I did: -changed service wsdl file in order it contains soap:header in binding (I provide wsdl fragment later); - tried to patch Axis with the patch http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13618 but patch program (patch-2.5.7-alpha from GNUWin32) doesn't patch it correctly and class JavaStubWriter doesn't compile. When I correct it manually it doesn't compile as well because of incorrect signature of writeOperation method:   JavaStubWriter.java:308: writeOperation(java.io.PrintWriter,javax.wsdl.BindingOperation,org.apache.ax is.wsdl.symbolTable.Parameters,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,boolean) in org.apache.axis.wsdl.toJ ava.JavaStubWriter cannot be applied to (java.io.PrintWriter,javax.wsdl.BindingOperation,org.apache.a xis.wsdl.symbolTable.Headers,org.apache.axis.wsdl.symbolTable.Parameters,java.lang.String,java.lang.S tring,boolean)                 writeOperation(pw, operation, headers, parameters, soapAction, opStyle,   Do I really have to patch Axis in order to use Soap Headers or there's another way? Could maybe somebody send me the patched class JavaStubWriter?   Please help me to understand what I'm doing wrong. Thank you very much.   Julia ************************************************************************* Client code:             String nameSpace = "samples.auth.SoapHeaderAuthClient";           //Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();           Element root = doc.createElementNS(nameSpace, "xxx");                     Element subElem = doc.createElementNS(nameSpace, "userName");           //Element subElem = doc.createElement("userName");           org.w3c.dom.Text text = doc.createTextNode("user1");           subElem.appendChild(text);           root.appendChild(subElem);                     subElem = doc.createElementNS(nameSpace, "password");           //subElem = doc.createElement("password");           text = doc.createTextNode("psw");           subElem.appendChild(text);           root.appendChild(subElem);                     org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement head = new org.apache.axis.message.SOAPHeaderElement(root);           //head.setActor("SoapHeaderAuthService");           head.setActor(SOAPConstants.URI_SOAP_ACTOR_NEXT);                    head.setMustUnderstand(true);           System.out.println("actor has been set " + head.getActor());           System.out.println("must understand has been set " + head.getMustUnderstand());                     String endpoint = "http://localhost:9090/axis/services/SoapHeaderAuth";           Service  service = new Service();           Call call = (Call) service.createCall();           call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );           call.setOperationName("sayHello");           call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );           call.addHeader(head);           String res = (String)call.invoke( new Object [] {});     I can see Soap header with tcpmon in the Soap message Although I set actor and "must understand" flag they are not visible in the soap header at tcpmon.
